Sklar Toennis Needle Holder, Straight Serrated
A straight 7 inch serrated needle holder used to grip and drive suturing needles securely during general and neurosurgical wound closure.
The Sklar Toennis Needle Holder is a straight instrument with a serrated jaw surface built to grip suturing needles firmly and prevent them from twisting or slipping during a needle pass. At seven inches, it offers a general purpose reach suited to a range of surgical fields, and its association with the Toennis name reflects longstanding use in neurosurgical settings, though the pattern is used more broadly across general surgery as well.
Needle holders of this kind are relied upon whenever a surgeon needs a dependable, straightforward instrument to complete suturing during wound or tissue closure, without the more specialised delicate or vascular jaw profiles used in other patterns. Surgeons and assisting staff in hospital operating theatres treat this as a standard, high frequency instrument on the general surgery tray.
As a reusable stainless steel instrument, it is cleaned, inspected and steam sterilized between uses following the facility's standard reprocessing protocol.
